Issues and Vulnerabilities Faced by Women amid COVID 19

Looking at every prevailing nature of female subordination, it can be clearly summarized that every aspect of life including the Corona virus lockdown has had a gendered and demeaning impact on woman. UN Women notes that during the pandemic, women migrant workers being in the position of the only breadwinner and care taker are at an increased risk of experiencing sexual harassment and violence by family members, co workers, employers, etc. The National Commission for Women has reported a notable upswing in the number of crimes against women namely of domestic violence, Marital Rape, Sexual Harassment within family, indecency, etc. ever since the lock down has been announced due to the pandemic. Amidst the era of masculinity of endurance and suffering, the power and resilience of migrant women appears to remain unworthy, where they suffered almost everything. The crisis of COVID 19 has driven an increased global awareness, and appreciation, of the vital role that women are playing during the pandemic, yet this does not end up into improved working conditions for them. Women have covered the same distances and survived the same yet different indignities, humiliations and brutalities not only at the hands of police and bureaucrats as well the fellow citizens. The following article critically furnishes the burning difficulties of one of the most vulnerable being of society, i.e., Women, amid the worldwide pandemic.
